Theatre Company Gets Set to Celebrate Centenary
Berkhamsted Theatre Company is just two years away from celebrating its centenary, and its members will be busy in the run-up to the milestone.
The company’s new production of the award-winning musical Spend, Spend, Spend, based on the true story of the infamous football pools winner, Viv Nicholson, runs at the Centenary Theatre, Berkhamsted, from 23-26 October. The murder-mystery, cult comedy ‘Clue’ is scheduled for spring 2025 (auditions this November) and autumn 2025 will see a blockbuster musical, soon to be announced, which the company hopes to make a community project, inviting local groups and choirs to join (auditions in May 2025).
New members are welcome. For anyone who has an interest in theatre, there are many opportunities and not just on stage! Directors, producers, musical directors, of course, but everything is created in-house; marketing, set design, costume creation, make-up, lighting, stage management, set building, sound, props… whatever your passion, there’s a team for you to join and learn new skills.
Reherearsals are at Swing Gate School, on Monday and Wednesday evenings and there’s an open invite to go along.
The company also has hopes to strengthen its ties within our local community. It has recently forged a partnership with The Hospice of St Francis.
Production manager Gemma Lloyd-Buckingham told Berkhamsted Living: ‘If you think you would like to help us to continue for another 100 years, please don’t be shy, drop us an email, suggest a partnership, a new idea or just offer a hand to help keep us rolling!’
